Maybe clearing your browser cache will stop it from popping up each time.
and check your browser cookie list to see if something relating to the pop up is hiding there.

If those don't take care of it ask on that forum if other are getting it too and/or do a web search on how to stop those things.

Do you have most pop ups blocked in your browser settings?

CACHE what is it and where is it....have already deleted temp internet files thru disc clean up
browser...how do i know what i have? and ?cookie list?
... one other person mentioned a similar issue and we are both on AOL
that forum has taken it private, so, if other persons are having issues i don't know, and won't know
just turned on the pop blocker, it was at the bottom R of screen....my concern was that it just. wouldn't. go. a way....kept doing it and would eventually overlay the AOL icon on the task bar.....now that i figured out the pop up cntrol, I am going over to that forum and try it out!

If you are using Firefox as your browser then the FREE addon 'Adblock Plus' should be able to block it for you.
